X×x-x=272
X^2-x-272=0
(X-16) or (x-17)
X=16 or x=17

17^2-17=272
Answer Is 17

After the mixing, 1lt of the mixture has 0.8lt of milk and 0.2lt of water. 1lt of milk costs Rs.12 so 0.8lt of milk costs 0.8 x 12 = 9.6
He sells the mixture at Rs.15,
so profit%=(15-9.6)/9.6 x 100 = 56.25%

there wil be two point of intersections

Ravi do a work in 30 days
Prakash do a work in 40days
then both work together 1/30+1/40=70/1200
then solve values 120/7 is 17(1/7) days

we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%

324

the sum of all = 10
Accept
324 = 3+2+4 =/=10 (NOT EQUAL TO 10)

Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127

Placing three trees in triangle and placing the fourth tree in center

A certain sum amounts to Rs. 1725 in 3 years

and amounts to Rs.1875 in 5 years

so interest of 2 years = 1875 -1725

= 150

so interest of 1 year = 75

so interest of 3 years = 75 × 3 =225 rs

so , Principal = Amount – SI

= 1725 – 225

= 1500 rs

now ,

S.I. = P × N × R /100

75 = 1500 × 1 × R /100

R = 75 / 15

R = 5%
